Expand the following functions in Legendre series.
Prove that the functions are orthogonal onwith respect to the weight function
Hint: Write the differential equationas, and see Sectionsand .
To study the approximations in the table, a computer plot on the same axes the given function together with its small x approximation and its asymptotic approximation. Use an interval large enough to show the asymptotic approximation agrees with the function for large x. If the small x approximation is not clear, plot it alone with the function over a small interval
Find the norm of each of the following functions on the given interval and state the normalized function.
Verify that the differential equation in Problemis not Fuchsian. Solve it by separation of variables to find the obvious solutionconst. and a second solution in the form of an integral. Show that the second solution is not expandable in a Frobenius series.
